I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see an attempt to primary Hickenlooper from the left wing of the Democrats, but doubt it could succeed.  Between his support for fracking in direct opposition to local communities, his crackdown on Occupy Denver, and his extremely tepid support for decriminalized marijuana,  he hasn't exactly made himself loved by Colorado's leftists.

Democrats will be favored.  The GOP is so, so weak in CO these days.

That may be changing after this gun control bill passes.

You're delusional if you think this will have any impact on next year's races.

I've never even shot a gun before and these bills make me furious.

It's difficult to exaggerate the enormity of the Democrats' political miscalculation here.  Of all the hornets nests the Democrats could have kicked, guns may be the grand-daddy of them all in this state.

I don't think it's much of a miscalculation.  Virtually everyone who might be offended by the recently passed gun control laws was never going to vote Democrat under any circumstances anyway. I know a number of Libertarian and Republican pro-gun folks, and none of them have a problem with these laws; as long as it doesn't really impact their recreation shooting or hunting, they don't care.
